Tonight, American viewers are going to have the opportunity to watch what originally was the “finale” to “Downton Abbey” season 4 in the United Kingdom; while the British had to wait an additional month and a half to see the Christmas special, the great news now for many Americans out there is that there will […]

There are some people out there who can understandably feel like this season of “Downton Abbey” has been too dark, and we agree with them to a certain extent. There has been all sorts of stuff in here that has taken the show down a very different road than the one that we were hoping […]

The Anna – Bates story on “Downton Abbey” season 4 took a significant turn on the episode of the show last week, and tonight was one that dealt largely with the aftermath of that incident. It is fair to say that this story is far from over, and next week’s episode is going to pick […]

Is there a character on “Downton Abbey” season 4 that went through more than Anna Bates? This is a woman who certainly seemed to start off the season happy enough, but then (spoiler alert!) there was the horrific incident when it came to Mr. Green. Her rape changed everything, and it also changed her relationship […]

Are Anna and Bates really going to be able to move forward following some of their recent woes on Sunday’s “Downton Abbey” episode? The last we saw them on the show, they were (spoiler alert for Americans!) getting at least the truth out there about the fact that Anna was raped during the party, while […]

Of course, we start this “Downton Abbey” season 4 article out with a substantial warning: If you want to avoid any and all spoilers for season 4, don’t read any further. Ever since the show aired a new episode on Sunday night that featured a very dark moment, as we ended up witnessing the shocking […]

Another day, and another look at the “Downton Abbey” season 4 premiere creeping up on Sunday evening (at least for viewers in Britain). This episode has the bold challenge of keeping viewers interested in a post-Dan Stevens world; it’s not always easy to lose cast members of that magnitude, especially when you are forced to […]

If there is anyone right now moving into the “Downton Abbey” season 4 premiere that is going to have their hands full, it’s Anna. Not only is she having to take on her typical lion’s share of duties in the famed mansion, but she also has the newfound responsibility of trying to get Mary to […]

Following the exits of both Dan Stevens and Jessica Brown Findlay on “Downton Abbey” season 3, we do very much understand a certain amount of paranoia on the part of most fans when it comes to their concerns about whether or not a favorite actor could be leaving the show. Nobody wants to see such […]
